As the Family Office Manager , I handle the day-to-day finances for our family and I needed a way to communicate our finances to my husband.

Don’t limit yourself to the thrift stores, either. An accountant can donate tax prep services to a charity, or you might be able to donate your services helping to haul items to and from the charity offices. They appreciate the clothes — and the fact that they don’t have to buy them.

I use old casual office clothes to work around the house. I have a closet full of work clothes I wore to the office for 20 years, mostly casual slacks and blouses. There is a lovely thrift store not far from my neighborhood that receives donations from the folks in the local golfing gated community. Cheap or frugal?

I think the transition of going from both working in an office with a dress code and the restrictions of 30x30 to being able to literally wear anything I want at any time, is sort of overwhelming. It basically makes fun of everyone I know, including myself. I had my first day at Buffalo Exchange yesterday and it went really well.

Thrift stores and consignment stores are a great resource for polos, dress shirts, khakis or long pants. Just talk to the school’s front office or the PTA to see if this policy is already in place, and if not, ask about starting one! If you are shopping online, shop through Ebates to get cash back on your purchases, too.

But as it is, the pants are a little over the top tight, and I didn’t feel like I could really get away with too tight pants, AND a sexy harness type thing at the office. I would just like to say…if I had been wearing this out fit OUT I would have worn the harness with it. I toned the whole thing down with a blazer as well.
